With the use of machine learning an agricultural work process including a tractor and an add-on device should be optimized and automated. The adaptive control system optimizes the process with regard to a defined objective function, e.g. performance (ha/h) or efficiency (l/ha). With measurements on the roller test bench and field tests the System can be evaluated for the processes plowing and circular harrowing. The system architecture is designed in a way, that transfer of the approach under specific adaptions is possible for all mobile machines.
